Bostonians can breathe a little easier as the air quality shows signs of improvement after recent hazy conditions. The smoke that had been an unwelcome veil over the city is finally lifting, "The smoke peels back over the next couple of days," as explained by NBC Boston. According to the same source, a helpful east/northeast wind effectively cleared much of the smoke from ground level. Even as we see some lingering haze today, it's mostly confined several thousand feet above, mingling inconspicuously with the clouds, and temperatures are expected to take a slight dip with coastal areas seeing low 70s and inland areas enjoying upper 70s.
A look ahead reveals sunnier skies on the horizon; the city's weather trajectory points toward a gradual warm-up, with "The sun returns in full force tomorrow, as our warmup slowly starts to emerge" indicating NBC Boston's forecast of a return to brighter days, and this is further corroborated by the National Weather Service's outlook for Boston which forecasts partly sunny conditions with a high near 78 for Thursday. The weekend promises sunshine with a creeping humidity, and a heat wave might set in as early as Sunday through the following Wednesday, as Bostonians can expect temperatures to soar close to 90 degrees and higher without the interruption of storms or rain, which seems off the cards at least until mid next week.
Meanwhile, the latest weather bulletin from National Weather Service maintains a calm and steady forecast for the coming days; Friday is looking sunny with a high near 82 and light winds from the southeast in the morning, giving way to a mostly clear night with lows hovering around the 60-degree mark. Boston's weekend will continue this pattern, marked by clear skies and climbing temperatures, culminating in a high near 89 on Sunday and the possibility of an even hotter Monday, with an expected high near 90 degrees.
The city is set to witness a string of sunny days, with "Sunny and hot, with a high near 92" for next Tuesday, as noted by the National Weather Service, so residents should prepare for the warmth; despite the heat, the nights will provide some respite, remaining mostly clear and with lower temperatures in the upper 60s to near 70. Local residents searching for cooler, more comfortable weather will likely have to hold till the middle of the next week when there's a "next credible threat for any wet weather," as acknowledged by NBC Boston, but until then, Bostonians are advised to enjoy the tranquil, if somewhat torrid, weather spell.
